Some details for Gun Crazy
•BRAND NEW REMASTER OF THE FILM prepared in 2018
•Audio Commentary by Author/Film-Noir Specialist Glenn Erickson
•Feature Length Documentary: "Film-Noir: Bringing Darkness to Light" (2006)
•Optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature

The documentary Film Noir: Bringing Darkness to Light that’s now packaged with Gun Crazy was originally packaged as an extra disc in the Warner Brothers Film Noir Classic Collection, Volume 3. That DVD also had five 20-minute programs from the MGM series “Crime Does Not Pay” — “Women In Hiding” (1940), “You, the People” (1940), Fred Zinneman’s “Forbidden Passage” (1941), Joseph Losey’s “A Gun in his Hand” (1945), and “The Luckiest Guy in the World” (1947). Not included here, it seems.

My thoughts exactly. Is Bad and the Beautiful with Warner?

Good indication Bad and the Beautiful may be with Criterion as part of the Warner deal.

Hope so, but it could just be a sign that Warner Archive doesn't put a lot of thought into what to present when.

Also looks like DVD of Bad and the Beautiful has been oop for a while.

So many Warner DVDs are, because they've chosen to either relegate them to WAC DVD-R releases or rerelease them as lowball 4-movie TCM sets under an unfortunate banner like "Greatest Classic Legends." The latter is what happened to The Bad and the Beautiful.

Retains both aspect ratio versions and (I think) all the extras from the original 2-disc DVD release. I adore this film, but I honestly don’t know if I can bring myself to buy yet another edition of it, and I’m skeptical that the transfer on the BD will be that much of an improvement over that on the 2-disc DVD.

Same as the DVD. This is not a good movie, though-- are they going out of their way to prioritize second string Minnelli over his still-languishing classics? If it's remembered at all, it's for inexplicably winning the writing Oscar, an honor literally no one thinks it merited
